I was banded in SA at the Nix on March 9th but live in Killeen. No one here knows that I had the surgery. Where did you get banded?

I live in San Antonio and am getting bannded a the end of the month! At the nix also! People can be mean, and there are people in my family that dont agree with what I'm doing, they think it's the "easy" way out. You can email me if you want, I can't really help you with the band part yet, but I can be an understanding person that know what you are going through (or will soon). My email is laceyismynameo@gmail.com

I'm in Hutto (NE of Austin). I work in Austin and travel to other locations as well. I'm getting banded on 7/10 at south Austin medical center. St David's. I could totally use a mentor/buddies. At least to chat. I'm starting to get nervous! Really nervous! Wondering if I'm doing the right thing!!! I've wanted this for 4 years but never wanted to finance....now I have awesome insurance that covers it %100. I've been jumping all the hoops my insurance required of me since 12/11. Now it's only a few days away and I'm excited but totally freaking out! For so many reasons. I'm saying goodbye to all my guilty pleasures......donuts, Pasta, breadsticks, etc etc etc all the stuff that got me fat!!!

Anyway, would love to chat it up with some of y'all! I can be emailed at

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
